"Why do you say so" Lorcan asked in a confused tone, not getting Fred's point.
"She for the fact did not glance at him even once unless they were talking to each other which was once or twice I guess" Fred said as he looked at Lorcan with dead seriousness.
"You don't say so, even though she is very beautiful and this is the first time I see someone as beautiful as her after my Mum and Aunt Selena, how could she not even casually glance towards James" Lorcan asked in disbelief, he was dumbstruck at the revelation.
"My sister is not like ordinary girls, she has a cold personality. She might seem warm and caring on the surface but that is not the complete thing. She is really heartless when it comes to people not related to her" Sam said in a warning tone as he looked at other boys seriously.
"I found her a bit similar to James" Teddy said casually, but others looked at him confused.
"How so" Sam asked as he looked at Teddy in confusion and curiosity.
James stood up from his seat as he knew he won't be able to listen to their discussion as it was going nowhere useful. He would rather go out for fresh air than sit here and listen to their useless blabbering and theories which make no sense.
"Where are you going" Fred asked quickly as he looked at James in confusion.
"Going out to get fresh air, you guys continue, I will join after I get a breather" James said calmly as he casually nodded towards others and left the table.
Teddy chuckled and looked at others, Sam already seemed to find the similarities in between his Sister and James.
"They are both cold to the people they don't know well, they are warm around the ones they are acquainted with, though they have their guard up all the times around everyone including their parents" Teddy explained calmly in a manner everyone could understand.
"I agree with you, I feel that Rose always as her guard up, with outsiders involved she would be extremely vigilant and sensitive to her surroundings" Sam expressed his opinion shortly as he was deep in his thoughts.
"As per me she is better now but three days back when she just returned it was so hard to converse with her. Every few words we spoke her answer or response used to be in one or two word, she was never curious about us, it was like she knew everything about us in and out" Lauren grumbled.
"James was not like this from start, he changed like this after that incident, what is the reason behind Evelina being like this or she was like this from the start itself" Teddy asked in a calm tone.
"We are not sure either, she moved to France when she was three and at that time even we were eight and five respectively. We don't have much impression of that time either, we are seeing her now after so many years, so we are not sure either" Sam said as he sighed helplessly.
He had always wanted to dote and pamper his little sister, he wanted to protect her just like other brothers around him but he was never allowed to meet her till now and the reason for it was not known either.
"It is fine, if she would also warm up to us after knowing us. If she likes to keep her guard up around people she is not familiar with then so be it no need to question or change her habit" Teddy said calmly, he decided to not ponder upon it anymore.
"Lorcan where did you run off to immediately, I was searching for you everywhere. Mum and Dad are asking for you" another boy who resembled Lorcan but had blonde hair informed him calmly.
"Okay, let's go where are they" Lorcan said as he immediately excused himself and followed his twin brother.
The twins navigated through the crowd and reached their parents who were standing along with other adults and Evelina.
Lorcan looked at Evelina who adorned a polite and warm smiled on her lips, she looked like she was enjoying their company very well.
"Here you are" a man who resembled the boy called out as they reached them.
"Lorcan was with the other boys and it took me awhile for finding him" the blonde haired boy said in a defeated note.
"It is fine, Lysander. We are not in a hurry either" Oliver reassured as he smiled warmly at the blonde haired boy.
"Evelina, they are the twins of Luna and Rolf. Lysander is the older one and Lorcan is the younger one. They are the same age as you and are Gryffindors" Oliver quickly introduced the twins to Evelina.
Evelina smiled and nodded politely towards the twins, Lysander returned the smile and nod the same way.
"We already met at the table, Sam introduced her to me" Lorcan beamed as he looked at Evelina and then Lysander.
"That is good to hear, then you guys go back and enjoy, no need to be stuck with us adults" Selena said as she shooed them off.
Evelina excused herself along with the boys. Lorcan and Lysander where walking in the front whereas Evelina walked behind them greeting the ones she met on the way. She reached the table and found all of them discussing something seriously.
"Rose you are back" lauren said as he looked at Evelina with a merry smile.
"I am but excuse me, I am going out to get a breather it is getting a bit stuffy inside" Evelina said as she smiled at everyone.
"As expected, I was nearly shocked when you were yet to excuse yourself" Albert said as he chuckled in amusement.
Evelina nodded and then left the boys on their own, continuing their discussion. She exited the ballroom making small talks with the ones she met on the way.
